Reign WCFM Addon

Adds favorite products, a Store tab and Favourite tab on BuddyPress profiles, activity-stream entries, and a second store layout on top of WCFM Marketplace and WooCommerce.

This page covers Reign WCFM Addon version 1.10.0.

What it needs

The add-on checks for three things at once on admin_init, and deactivates itself with an admin notice if any is missing:

  • Reign theme
  • WCFM (WooCommerce Frontend Manager / WCFM Marketplace)
  • WooCommerce, since WCFM is built on it

This is enforced in code, not a soft warning: without all three active the add-on turns itself off.

BuddyPress (including BuddyBoss) is optional. When it is active, the add-on’s profile tabs and activity-stream entries switch on. Youzify is also detected for a small compatibility branch on order activity.

What it adds

On the storefront:

  • A “Mark as Favourite” heart icon on the single product page and in the shop loop, toggled by AJAX and saved per logged-in user.
  • A “Visit Store” link added to the WooCommerce shop loop.
  • A second, full page-level store layout (“Layout 2”) that replaces WCFM’s own store page template when selected, rebuilding the banner, avatar, and store-info sections WCFM normally renders.
  • Filtering support on WooCommerce’s own [products] shortcode so it can be scoped to favorite products.

This add-on does not register any shortcodes or widgets of its own - its features are toggles and template swaps, not new shortcode tags or widget areas. Any store-list, vendor-registration, or store-hours shortcodes on a WCFM site come from WCFM core, not from this add-on.

BuddyPress integration, when BuddyPress or BuddyBoss is active:

  • A “Favourite” tab on the member’s own profile, listing their favorited products.
  • A “Store” tab on a vendor’s profile, showing their products through WCFM. Turning this on replaces WCFM’s own native store tab on the profile; leave it off and WCFM’s native tab stays in place.
  • Activity-stream entries for new products, product reviews, and completed orders, each behind its own on/off setting.

Where its options live

There is no dedicated admin page. Settings sit on a WCFM Marketplace tab inside Reign Settings, split into two sub-tabs:

General:

  • Mark Products As Favourite
  • Display Store Tab
  • Create Product Activity
  • Add Review Activity
  • Order Activity

Single Store:

  • Single Store Layout - a choice of Layout 1 (WCFM’s own store page, styled by the theme) or Layout 2 (the add-on’s own full template override). This is the extent of the store-layout choice this add-on offers: one dropdown, two layouts, no per-section customizer.

There is no separate Customizer panel for this add-on - every option lives on the Reign Settings tab above. The add-on’s license key is activated from its own panel inside Reign’s license manager, separate from the theme license.

How to install

  1. Install and activate WCFM and WooCommerce first. The add-on has nothing to attach to without them.
  2. Install Reign WCFM Addon from your account download, same as any other plugin.
  3. Activate its license on the panel Reign Settings adds for it.
  4. Set your options on the WCFM Marketplace tab in Reign Settings, and pick a Single Store layout if you want the alternate one.
